Organic compounds serve as a source of energy for any organism. These are primarily carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. But by themselves they do not release energy. Energy is obtained during the oxidation of these substances. For this, there are special organelles – mitochondria. These are two membrane organelles that are characteristic of most eukaryotic cells. They are not characteristic of prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), since prokaryotes do not have any membrane organelles in principle. Their energy exchange takes place according to different principles.
